>Honest question: How bad are male collabs for growth, really?

I'll attempt a nuanced answer:
Absolutely terrible idea: Collabs with guys that aren't content creators. People want to know who that is and not feel like you're just playing games with your discord mods. You're also not growing by tapping into their audience. Just all around bad idea.

Depends but usually bad: Maletubers your size or smaller.

Alright: Maletubers bigger than you.

Pretty good: Non-vtuber content creators in a male aligned interest space. You're gaining fresh viewers and showing your existing ones your ability to care about stuff they care about.

Six star option: You're teaching something girly with a content creator who's also into the girly thing. This is perceived as relatively non threatening and gives you a slightly higher female viewership with repeat use.

Generally speaking male collabs do not need to be a defacto nerf on growth.

HOWEVER.

Most indie ENtubers don't have a strict no male policy.
If you do utilize one, your brand attains a niche appeal. Few things are an instant hit — It's usually about stacking buffs and compensating for weaknesses.

I hope that made sense.
